The Autel Evo Foldable 4K Drone

With the rising popularity of the DJI Mavic drones, we have been waiting for a company to rival them with a better product. Well Autel has done just that with their all new Autel Evo Drone At first glance, the Autel Evo looks like a copy of the Mavic Pro with some slight design changes but look again.

While the Evo does seem to mimic the specs of the Mavic Pro such as a 3-axis gimbal, intelligent flight modes with obstacle avoidance, 30 minutes of flight time and a max operating distance of 4.2 miles. The Evo takes it a step further and hits the Mavic Pro where it hurts, in the Camera and Controller areas.

Autel knew they have to come out with a superior product. They achieved this my including a 4K camera which can shoot at 60fps as compared to the Mavic Pro at 30fps.

An additional upgrade over the Mavic Pro is the controller. Autel has created a controller which has a built in 3.3" screen for real time 720p video so there is no need to connect your smart phone. Although, you can connect your phone if you prefer but this makes flying all the more easier.

All in all, I think the new Autel Evo Drone is going to give the DJI Mavic Pro a run for their money. In my opinion, DJI has become somewhat complacent being that they have dominated the market. Autel is stepping up the game and competition with the Evo. We love it.
